Proudest Moment

My proudest moment was when, after 3 years I spent at Kiwi.com, we polled engineers on what their values are, and “Transparency” came up as the number one response, much unlike when I joined. After spending years preaching, fighting for an open company culture, I feel like this is somewhat of a personal accomplishment of sorts, even if I obviously can’t just outright take credit for it.

Built the company’s technical foundations, at times as the only employee.
